The skeleton, which was a few hundred meters long, lay in the middle of the mountain. Many parts of it were entwined with vines, but the vines had long since dried up. They were tangled with the bone, making it look even more desolate.
Han Sen looked at the skeleton with curiosity. He was very curious, as no creature dared to come within one thousand meters of the skeleton. It was as powerful as the Silver Fox.
But for a skeleton to possess such a frightening presence, it was not something ordinary. Perhaps it really was the skeleton of a super creature.
"I wonder if I can make soup with this bone?
Perhaps I can even get super geno points from it. "Han Sen looked at the giant skeleton and gave up on the idea.
But Han Sen still approached the skeleton, wanting to get a closer look at it.
Chen Ran saw that they were curious about the skeleton of the Mountain Guardian Hound, so he did not say anything. He followed Queen and the others to the skeleton.
Han Sen got a closer look. The skeleton was grey like a rock, and each one was as thick as a bucket. Some were as big as a house.
The skeleton was in perfect condition, and it looked as if it had died peacefully. There were no signs of battle.
One of Chen Ran's subordinates, an evolver named Xu Dong Jin, summoned a beast soul knife and slashed at the skeleton. There was a clanging sound, but no mark was left behind.
"This skeleton is very hard. Even a sacred-blood weapon would not be able to scratch it." Xu Dong Jin put away his knife and smiled.
Han Sen was even more convinced that this was the skeleton of a super creature. Otherwise, Xu Dong Jin's strike would have been over a hundred. If it was not a super creature's skeleton, there was no way it could have left no mark.
But he did not know how a super creature had died in such a place, and how it had only left behind a skeleton.
Chen Ran and the others were talking to Queen. Han Sen walked along the spine of the skeleton, and he saw many vines wrapped around it. He did not know how long they had been there, but he could not tell how long they had been there.
Han Sen walked to the head, and it looked like the head of a dog. Its fangs were intertwined, and although it was just a skeleton, it was still frightening.
Han Sen sighed in his heart. "It's a pity that there are only bones. I don't know how many years of wind and rain have passed. These bones are useless."
Just as he was about to leave, his eyes inadvertently glanced at the withered vines beside the head. There was a fruit, but the fruit had already withered. It was yellow and dry, no different from the withered vines.
Han Sen walked over to take a closer look. It was a gourd, but it wasn't big. It could be held in one hand. It looked like it had just grown. Before it could grow, the whole gourd vine had withered, along with the gourd that hadn't grown yet.
Most people did not care about plants, but Han Sen was very interested. There were so many withered vines near the skeleton, but there was only one gourd. Perhaps there was something special about this gourd.
Han Sen reached out his hand to grab the gourd. He wanted to pull it off the vine, but no matter how hard he tried, he failed. He was shocked, and he thought to himself, "Why is this gourd so tough?"
Xu Dongjin walked over and said with a smile, "Don't bother. That gourd can't be pulled off. This dead gourd vine is as tough as the bones of the Mountain Guardian Hound. Swords and knives can't damage it. Many people who saw this gourd wanted to pull it off, but no matter how hard they tried, they couldn't damage it."
When Han Sen heard Xu Dong Jin say this, his interest was piqued. He summoned his ancient sword and laughed. "Is it that magical?
Then I will have to give it a try. "
Han Sen swung his sword at the gourd, but it felt like he had hit a cow's tendon. He was unable to cut the vine, and the sword bounced back.
"What do you think?" Xu Dong Jin laughed.
"It really is tough." Han Sen's interest in the gourd was piqued. No matter how he looked at it, the gourd was no ordinary item.
But the gourd vine was so tough that it would be difficult to pull it off. Han Sen put away his ancient sword and grabbed the gourd. He secretly opened his gene lock and tried to pull it off. But before he could pull, the gourd fell off the vine. Han Sen grabbed it, which shocked Han Sen.
Xu Dong Jin, who was next to him, was shocked. He looked at the gourd in Han Sen's hands in disbelief and asked, "How did you pull it off?"
God knew how long the vine had been wrapped around the skeleton. Many people had tried to pull it off, but none of them had succeeded.
Xu Dongjin was shocked when he saw Han Sen pull the gourd out of the ground with a casual tug.
"I don't know. I just pulled and it fell off."
Han Sen was confused, too. How did he pull the gourd off so easily? He hadn't even tried to pull it off.
Han Sen didn't need to say anything, though. Xu Dong Jin had seen it happen. All Han Sen had done was pull the gourd. He hadn't used any strength, and the gourd had fallen off.
"What's going on?" Chen Ran asked, bringing the others and Queen with him.
"Brother Han pulled the gourd off the vine." Xu Dong Jin explained what had happened.
Chen Ran and the others were shocked, but they didn't think much of it. After all, it was just a gourd on a vine. What could it possibly do?
"Brother Han, it looks like you are a lucky man. This gourd has been here for who knows how long. It must have fallen off the vine and landed in your hands." Chen Ran smiled and went on to say, "Do you mind letting us take a look at it?"
"Of course." Han Sen did not hesitate and handed the gourd over to Chen Ran.
Chen Ran played with it for a while, but he couldn't see anything out of the ordinary. He showed it to Xu Dong Jin and the others, and then returned it to Han Sen.
"If this is a fated item, then you must take good care of it. Perhaps it will be a treasure." Chen Ran smiled.
"It is just a vine gourd. What kind of treasure can it be? It is just something to play with." Han Sen smiled and put the gourd away.
Everyone continued up the mountain. With Chen Ran's guidance, they were able to avoid many dangerous areas. Their progress was good.
But as they walked, Han Sen felt as if something was wrong. It was as if the gourd in his arms was beating like a heart.
Han Sen was shocked. He reached out his hand and pulled out the gourd. He held it in his hand and felt it.
Of course, there was a very weak vibration coming from it. It was like a heartbeat. But because it was so weak, if it wasn't for Han Sen's seven senses, he wouldn't have been able to detect it.
Han Sen wanted to throw the gourd away. Ever since he saw the lotus that produced the eighteen Blood Crystal Wasps, he was afraid of this strange plant.
